The Wraith is a fictional character, owned by Marvel Comics and existing in that company's Marvel Universe. The character was first introduced as Brian DeWolff, the brother of Spider-Man supporting character, Jean DeWolff.
[edit] Fictional character biography
Brian DeWolff was a former patrolman for the New York Police Department, who was shot by criminals and rescued by his father, using experimental technologies to restore Brian's health and give him psionic abilities. Under his father's control, Brian (as the Wraith) killed several criminals, and fought Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Doctor Strange. Brian was found innocent of the crimes, but his father went to prison. The Wraith became a costumed adventurer and ally of Iron Man.
When his sister Jean was killed by the Sin-Eater (who was also a policeman, much like Brian), the Wraith went mad and decided to take vengeance on the whole New York Police Department. When he arrived at a police station, he was shot by the Scourge of the Underworld, who was disguised as a policeman.
His original form was destroyed, but he later transferred his mind into the body of another.
